Whole School:
Following the recent announcement of Miss Darby’s planned retirement, we are pleased to announce that after a rigorous interview process Ms Alcock has been appointed as the new Headteacher of Eastover Primary School from September 2025. As you will know, Ms Alcock has been an integral part of Eastover Primary School since 2011 in her capacity as Deputy Headteacher and is looking forward to continuing to serve the school in her new role as Headteacher. I’m sure you will join us in congratulating Ms Alcock on this achievement.

Sticky Questions:
As part of our oracy project, we are introducing Sticky Questions. It is a whole school approach, and the idea is the children are talking about a question each week, throughout the school day as well as at home. There is one question for FS, one for KS1 and one for KS2, these will be in the bulletin each week. What makes Sticky Questions “sticky” is that you can keep on discussing them! The sticky questions for w/c 31st March are below:
FS Sticky Question: If you could have a super-power what would it be?
KS1 Sticky Question: Tell each other a story about a lamp going to school?
KS2 Sticky Question: Can you touch a number?
